The immortal pill is reborn and possesses the body of the charming female shopkeeper.

Chapter 14 The Assassin's End

At dinner time, Luo Sifan called Xiaozhu and Bai Moyan together to have dinner in his courtyard.

The eldest son's kitchen was clearly not able to spare much energy to prepare the dishes, which were simple: two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and three dishes and a soup.

"Xiaozhu, from now on, we'll have a fixed meal schedule. The three of us sisters will eat together, and you won't have to squeeze into the kitchen to eat with the servants anymore."

Luo Sifan picked up his chopsticks and said to Xiaozhu with a smile.

Xiao Zhu picked up her chopsticks, nodded, and looked quite excited.

Bai Moyan ate nonchalantly, picking at her food with her chopsticks, her brows furrowed slightly.

With her chopsticks still in her hand, Xiaozhu began to glare at Bai Moyan with annoyance.

"Moyan, is the food here not to your liking?"

Luo Sifan didn't take it to heart and asked politely.

"If only we had the braised chicken from Zuixianglou and the braised pork knuckle from Yuankelai!"

Bai Moyan spoke without restraint and showed little interest in the food on the table.

"Hmph!" Xiao Zhu rolled her eyes as she ate her food with gusto.

Luo Sifan slowly picked up his food and ate his rice.

"Let's make do for today, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Moyan, eat your food first, your sister has something to discuss with you."

Bai Moyan looked helpless and reluctant as she picked up some food and ate her rice.

After dinner, Luo Sifan called Bai Moyan into his room and briefly explained the problem of refining the Spirit-Preserving Pill.

"Sister, do you mean you can't find a quiet place to practice your skills?"

Bai Moyan was a little happy.

"That's easy, let's go to Limeng Mountain. Our White Fox Clan has thousands of miles of spiritual mountains to ourselves, Sister, just pick one and no one will dare to bother us."

"Isn't it a bit far?"

Luo Sifan hesitated.

"It's far away, perhaps thousands of miles away, but it's also very close, just a blink of an eye."

Bai Moyan blinked, keeping everyone in suspense.

"You said it!"

Luo Sifan glared at her, gathered up the spiritual materials, picked up the Mandarin Duck Ruyi Furnace, his body bulging.

Bai Moyan found it amusing.

"Sister, come here!"

Bai Moyan reached out and took out a white bead that shimmered with a faint light, and pulled Luo Sifan's hand.

In a daze, the two jumped from Luo Sifan's boudoir into a small courtyard. In the courtyard stood a two-story building, and outside the courtyard was a thick, boundless white fog.

What is this place?

Luo Sifan looked around in surprise.

Bai Moyan smiled and pulled Luo Sifan into the small building. The room was well-furnished with cabinets, tables and chairs. Outside the latticed window, the air was still thick with mist.

"Put your things here."

Bai Moyan reached out and took the spiritual materials from Luo Sifan's hands one by one, placing them on the table.

"This is a mirage pearl illusion, a mirage pearl refined by a mirage demon that has been around for ten thousand years. When the time comes, the illusion will materialize, and we will use it as a daily storage item."

"The white mist is all an illusion, sister, you mustn't go in carelessly!"

Luo Sifan clicked his tongue in amazement and placed the treasure furnace in the cabinet.

"Let's go! Let's get out!"

Bai Moyan pulled Luo Sifan up, and the two of them suddenly found themselves standing there empty-handed.

Luo Sifan glanced at the white pearl in Bai Moyan's hand and sighed:

"Your family has quite a few treasures. This one bead alone could easily sell for four or five hundred thousand taels of silver."

Is it really worth that much?

Bai Moyan's eyes lit up; she had enough to eat at Zuixianglou for years to come.

I have hundreds of these at home, some of them are from different years, and I even use them to make bracelets.

Luo Sifan had no idea what she was thinking, and took Bai Moyan's hand:

"Put the beads away safely. Let's hurry and get going."

As dusk fell, the last rays of the setting sun lingered. Luo Sifan, holding Bai Moyan's hand, exchanged a few words with the gatekeeper of the Lin residence, and the two walked hand in hand towards the west gate of Yongning Prefecture, like sisters.

Not long after they left, Bai Moyan frowned and secretly pinched Luo Sifan's palm.

"What?"

Luo Sifan asked in a low voice.

"Someone is secretly following us!"

Bai Moyan gritted her teeth and whispered, the murderous intent of the person following her making the sensitive little white fox very unhappy.

"Really? Then let's hurry up!"

Luo Sifan had already spotted them; it was the same man in the straw hat from earlier that day, now dressed in a grey robe and carrying a bamboo basket, spying outside the Lin residence. Upon seeing Luo Sifan emerge, the man threw the basket into the alley and followed closely behind the two.

"Ok!"

Bai Moyan's eyes darted around, and she and Luo Sifan quickened their pace.

The two left the west gate and took a small path, heading towards a deserted area.

Seeing that no one was around, the gray-robed assassin flashed and disappeared, leaping forward at several times the speed of before.

Bai Moyan suddenly stopped and smiled at Luo Sifan:

"Sister, let me scare him!"

She took a green snail from her bosom, pressed it to her red lips, and gently blew on it.

A faint, piercing shriek drifted past Luo Sifan's ears.

The gray-robed man seemed to sense the abnormality as well. Instead of retreating, he advanced, lifted his bamboo hat, and appeared ten feet away from the two men with two leaps.

A savage grin spread across his long, pale face as he brandished a chicken-claw-like weapon, sneering as he said:

"Lin Xiaozhi! I don't care what kind of demon or monster you are, today, I will kill you again!"

The oppressive power of the Foundation Establishment cultivator enveloped the entire area, causing Luo Sifan and Bai Moyan to change color and become immobilized for a moment.

The gray-robed man raised the chicken-claw-like weapon in his hand, its cold light flashing, aiming straight at Luo Sifan's soul, and a chilling suction force suddenly increased dramatically.

"hehe…"

The gray-robed man watched Luo Sifan and Bai Moyan's fear with a sinister chuckle as he slowly stepped forward.

"What the hell is that? It's disgusting!"

Bai Moyan squeezed Luo Sifan's sweaty palm, her fear vanished, and she cursed him with disgust.

The gray-robed man was taken aback, then his long face erupted with rage:

"You brat, let me rip your soul out first!"

He flipped the chicken claw in his hand, and it grew several feet longer before he grabbed at Bai Moyan's head.

Luo Sifan sighed, helplessly urging his Taiyi spiritual energy, leaping up desperately to block the approaching sinister chicken claw.

Bai Moyan became anxious, stomped her foot, and scolded:

"Akazawa! How long are you going to keep watching this show?"

With a loud rumble, a pair of large, crimson eyes suddenly appeared in the void behind the two. The whites of their eyes were as clear as jade, and their round pupils were as red as fire. Their gaze swept over the gray-robed man, and the pressure that was several levels higher instantly froze the gray-robed man in place, allowing Luo Sifan's palm to grab the chicken claw tightly.

The burgeoning Taiyi spiritual energy fiercely leaked from Luo Sifan's palm, devouring the gray-robed man's eerie spiritual energy along the way.

The gray-robed man's face remained completely expressionless as he horrifiedly felt his spiritual energy being frantically plundered and suppressed.

The strange beast slowly revealed its entire body. It was a giant beast, three zhang long and one zhang tall, covered with thick white fur, neither lion nor tiger.

He rolled his eyes with a hint of unease, watching the frozen standoff between Luo Sifan and the gray-robed man.

"Akazawa! Is my sister alright?!"

Bai Moyan reached out to pull away Luo Sifan's stiffly raised arm, but it wouldn't budge, and she became a little anxious.

Akaza shook his big head, indicating that Bai Moyan didn't need to worry.

With its four hooves curled up and lying down, Akazawa leisurely watched from the sidelines.

Since the gray-robed man was suppressed, Luo Sifan's mindset has stabilized, and the giant beasts around him seem peaceful, allowing him to act with greater peace of mind.

In the process of coming and going, Taiyi spiritual energy thoroughly understood the spiritual energy and cultivation methods practiced by the gray-robed man.

Luo Sifan hardened his heart and activated the Taiyi Qingxuan Gong. The Yin-Yang millstone in his Qi Sea started spinning again. The Taiyi spiritual energy that had invaded the gray-robed man's body was murderous and began to plunder like a whirlwind, before being crushed into dust by the Yin-Yang millstone!

This person has repeatedly tried to kill Luo Sifan. He is vicious and his martial arts are insidious. Luo Sifan is determined to turn him into nourishment for the Taiyi Qingxuan Gong!
